Tasks 0.2
Tasks 0.2 is ready to roll. Tasks is a simple To Do manager, using GTK+ and libecal (part of Evolution Data Server). No great new features over 0.1, but several bug fixes. Now that I've been putting off categories by fixing up code, I'll have to them.
- Sort tasks based on the locale
- Persist window size
- Allow GTK+ themes to change the task colours
- Move the cursor to new tasks
- Remove the None priority from the interface
- Add a frame around the date popup (thanks Luca)
- Don't close the date popup when the month is changed (thanks Kris)
- Pop down the combo when the button is pressed (thanks Kris)
- Add a faded label to the entry explaining what it is for
- Fix memory leaks
For 0.3 I invite a dedicated member of gnome-i18n to be the first person to send a patch to i18n the source and provide a translation. Fame and glory can be yours!

Mike -- I'll have about 7 categories, which would involve scrolling the tab bar to find the one I want.

Is it normal, that todo items I create in Tasks are not visible in my evolution, and changes I made are not kept, though Tasks shows evolution's todo items?

Andrey: yes, I blooged about this on Sunday.

Thanks for tasks! Have you implemented maybe a policy for finished tasks to disappear after a while? I'm using tasks so much already that It's a bit annoying to delete finished tasks manually.

Bah, I was just about to announce my scratch for the same itch :) -- http://alcopop.org/code/todo/. I shall have to mine yours for inspiration :) I do like how you are using colour.

Have you considered building in a "stopwatch timer", to be able to track how much time you are spending on a certain task? Nice to have if you are freelancing, or just trying to keep track of where your time disappears..
... Or does anyone know of a program that has this function?
